Had two myofasical sessions on my back, shoulders, neck and lower legs. The reason for my bookings was serious pain, and reduced mobility.
The results have been incredible, I'm like a new man.
Jan's approach is very wide ranging offering a complete solution to my back and sholder issues. This was a very different therapy to a typical spa massage treatment.
Combining the myofasical release masage with guidance for stretching and posture correction between the sessions has given me unprecedented results. My back and sholders are now pain free with an incredibly refreshed range of movement, and

I have had several treatments with Jan at The Captain’s Den. Jan is always very welcoming and friendly. She is professional, knowledgeable and provides a confidential service. The facials and neck & shoulder massages I have received are amazing. I have had aromatherapy facials to ease sinus congestion which have relieved sinus pain and enabled me to breathe easily. Jan has worked on tightness in my shoulders and neck which has made a real impact. I can highly the Holistic Therapy which Jan provides at The Captain’s Den. Thank you so much Jan. 😊

I've had quite a few back, neck and head massages with Jan now, she has really sorted my back out, mixes various oils to help sort whatever problem I turn up with!!! I leave feeling relaxed and with some good follow up advice to help until next time I go. Always has time to listen and make notes of how you're feeling. Looking forward to my next treatment, a full body massage. Can highly recommend Jan x

Jan was welcoming and attentively listened to my objectives and expectations for my treatment (full body massage). Following consultation she provided an explanation of what i could expect during and after treatment. She blended oils specific to my needs. Jan provided recommendations for my aftercare.
My objectives and expectations were met and, I found the massage of great benefit. It was uplifting and relaxing.
I would highly recommend a full body massage with Jan.

I had a wonderful hand massage at a holistic therapy fair. Jan blended oils specifically for me following a consultation. The hand massage was great but she also massaged my shoulder as she felt that this was strained and tense. She provided advise following the consultation. I would certainly recommend Jan.
